5 Who is this who comes up from the wilderness, Leaning on her beloved? Under the apple tree I aroused you. There your mother conceived you. There she was in labor and bore you.
who is this – these are the saints come up out of the wilderness, meaning that New Jerusalem will now be visible to all again, “a great mountain burning with fire” (Rev 8:8).
leaning upon her beloved – the true Bride is in the bosom of Christ; those who keep His commandments abide in His love (John 15:10).
under the apple tree I aroused you – with the outpouring of the holy spirit, “after two days He will revive us” (Hos 6:2).
